John Acker
Hello! I am a nonfiction editor specializing in academic and business editing, including theses and dissertations, book chapters, journal articles, technical reports, cover letters, application essays, and professional correspondence. Please see my portfolio at www.ackeredit.com/portfolio. I also have a PhD in English from Ohio State University. Because I’ve edited complex documents representing dozens of disciplines and industries, I can understand and improve a wide array of technical arguments, with particular expertise in social science, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), and the humanities. To supplement my edits I can also offer practical feedback as an educated non-specialist, especially on documents targeting a mix of expert and non-expert readers.
